Psalm 47

(from Day 9 Evening Prayer)

Omnes gentes, plaudite

  1. O CLAP your hands together, all ye people : O sing unto God with the voice of melody.
  2. For the Lord is high, and to be feared : he is the great King upon all the earth.
  3. He shall subdue the people under us : and the nations under our feet.
  4. He shall choose out an heritage for us : even the worship of Jacob, whom he loved.
  5. God is gone up with a merry noise : and the Lord with the sound of the trump.
  6. O sing praises, sing praises unto our God : O sing praises, sing praises unto our King.
  7. For God is the King of all the earth : sing ye praises with understanding.
  8. God reigneth over the heathen : God sitteth upon his holy seat.
  9. The princes of the people are joined unto the people of the God of Abraham : for God, which is very high exalted, doth defend the earth, as it were with a shield.
